With the huge potentials Cameroon has it would have been better than what it is today. Embezzlement of state funds seriously damaged our economy, this is why the government made the fight against corruption a priority leading to the jailing of several former top officials. Several major developmental projects aimed at boosting and completely transforming our economy have been launched. Investors are rushing into the country daily and the President has undertaken several seduction campaigns through several trips out of the country to bring in more investors from all corners of the globe.

ReplyDeleteI think the balance sheet of the evolution of Cameroon’s GDP has not been bad compared to several countries. We are recovering from an economic crisis that seriously hampered our economy and with the major developmental projects underway, our GPD will improve considerably and by 2018 the figures will be greater than predicted by IMF.
